Chapter 42

Author: Sienna Yates
Xavier raised his eyebrows, as if about to say something, but Sharon cut him off.

"Xavier, why don't you head back for now? There's something I'd like to discuss with Mr. Biggs. Alone."

Xavier paused, then gave a small nod. "Alright. If you need anything, call me anytime."

Carter's face darkened for reasons even he couldn't explain.

Once Xavier had left, Carter stood stiffly, his expression cold. "Sharon, we haven't even divorced yet, and you're already eager to bring another man here to—what—build a connection?"

Coming from him, kind words were a rarity.

Sharon's voice was calm. "Your phone was unreachable. After I was taken to the hospital, the doctor kept urging me to pay. I could only call someone I knew to help out."

Truthfully, she had called Wendy first. But because of the accident yesterday, she hadn't been able to pick up Matty. So when she woke up, she called Xavier to explain the situation.

Not long after, Xavier arrived with Matty to visit her. Later, when Wendy cam

    Sharon was still lost in thought when John's voice cut through, pulling her back."Since that's the case… let's go together on the day of the music exchange."She blinked, gathering herself. "Alright."…At Kelly's studio.When Carter arrived, Nate was pacing, trying to comfort Kelly."Kelly, don't worry," Nate said, gritting his teeth. "I swear, I'll find whoever did this to your studio."Kelly said nothing, only lowered her head, quietly wiping her tears.The moment Carter stepped inside, Nate's eyes lit up like someone spotting a lifeline."Carter, look!" He pointed furiously. "Someone's targeting Kelly. They splashed paint all over her studio!"Carter didn't need him to spell it out. His gaze swept over the walls stained with jagged, violent words."Homewrecker Kelly!""A filthy mistress who ruins families!""Shameless gold-digging trash!"The blood-red paint dripped down the walls and doors like some grotesque curse.A sharp chemical stench hung heavy in the air, ch

    "When Mom passed so suddenly, and the Kalen family kicked me out, if it hadn't been for you, I would've ended up on the streets. I probably wouldn't have even made it to see her one last time," Sharon said.But John wasn't comforted by her words. "I still feel useless… I couldn't protect you then… I couldn't even protect Teacher Shayla. I didn't even know she was terminally ill."Sharon shook her head. "John, this wasn't your fault. None of it. You shouldn't blame yourself."Her mother had hidden her illness from everyone. She'd even sent Sharon to live with the Kalen family to keep her from noticing anything.Despite raising Sharon alone, Shayla's life had never resembled some tragic melodrama. They weren't poor. In fact, they lived comfortably—upper middle class by most standards.If not, how could her mother have afforded to help John financially back then?When her mother left the Kalen family, she'd taken a sizable sum with her. On top of that, she was an accomplished violin

    Silas said, "Sharon… got married five years ago. She has a child. Her ex-husband… is Carter Biggs, one of the most powerful men in Zachemaine."For a moment, both Victoria and Scott were stunned.Victoria blinked. "She was married? And has a child?"Scott frowned. "Ex-husband? They divorced already?"Silas nodded. "Not long ago. Apparently… the reason was Carter's unresolved entanglement with his first love. Dad's thrilled now that he knows he has a grandson. He's already preparing a meeting gift for the kid."Victoria's brows tightened. "Biggs Group is a powerhouse in Zachemaine. How did Jenna manage to marry someone like Carter?"She didn't say it outright, but everyone in the room understood the implication.With Sharon's background, marrying a man like Carter should've been impossible. In circles like theirs, marriage wasn't just about love; it was about matching status, family, and power. Especially for a man like Carter.Silas's gaze darkened slightly. "If she were known

    Richard had said, "My daughter is born into privilege, raised to enjoy life. There's no need for her to suffer like that."Still, Richard wasn't entirely authoritarian. He gave Victoria two choices.First—enroll in an arts university, just as he wished, and he'd grant her fifteen percent of Kalen Group's shares.Second—pursue any university of her choosing, follow her own path, but she would receive nothing. No financial support. No shares. No safety net.Fifteen percent of Kalen Group wasn't just a fortune to ordinary people. Even in elite circles, it was a staggering figure, nearly unthinkable. Among her three brothers, only the eldest held fifteen percent. The second and third sons each had just ten.The fact that Richard was willing to transfer that much to her said everything about how much he valued her.In the end, Victoria chose the shares. She enrolled in an arts university.But brilliance didn't fade just because the stage changed. She'd grown up immersed in elite educ

    Victoria's lips curved with the faintest trace of a smile.Her outfit was understated but refined. A crisp white blouse, perfectly tailored, paired with a dark, flowing skirt. Her long hair was swept casually into a loose knot, a few strands falling gently around her ears, adding an air of effortless ease.Every movement she made carried the kind of grace that was neither deliberate nor accidental—an elegance born from quiet confidence.Scott replied, "Dad's heard about her. Sounds like he's seriously considering bringing Jenna back to the family. One way or another, she's managed to catch his attention."Lately, Sharon's name had become impossible to ignore in Zachemaine. Her rise was so sudden, so blinding, that even the Kalen family, far away in Marcentine, couldn't help but hear whispers of her.Victoria asked, "What about Rick and Silas? What do they think?"Rick and Silas were her other brothers.Scott didn't even glance her way. "If she minds her manners, bringing her bac

    Sharon hadn't chosen to endure Gregory's provocation in silence. Instead, she had hit back—hard.Every question Gregory had thrown her way, she answered with perfect fluency, leaving no room for doubt. Her brilliance wasn't something anyone could deny.She wasn't just beautiful. She was sharp, articulate, and impossibly poised.It was hard not to fall for a woman like her.Felipe realized it, too.So, he started looking into her quietly and learned everything there was to know.She was divorced with a child.But to him—and frankly, to anyone in his world—that was nothing. A trivial detail.The fact that she was a gifted violinist only made her more intriguing. So he pulled a few strings and got his hands on an invitation to an exclusive music exchange hosted by Maestro Warner.It wasn't exactly difficult for someone of his status.
